Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • While there is no direct one-to-one correspondence between Hebrew and Greek terms, concepts of beauty and suitability in the Greek New Testament can be found in words like καλός (kalos • Strong's Greek 2570), which means good, beautiful, or noble, and ὡραῖος (hōraios • Strong's Greek 5611), meaning beautiful or timely. These Greek terms capture similar notions of aesthetic and moral beauty as נָאוֶה (na'weh) in the Hebrew Bible.
